Once daily
0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day in a volume of 5mL/kg bw/day - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- - Quadruplicate 0.5 g samples (accurately measured) were taken from the middle from group 1 and 3 formulations (0 and 300 mg/kg bw/day) for accuracy analysis and from three levels (top, middle and bottom) from group 2 and 4 formulations (100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day) for accuracy and homogeneity analyses. The samples were stored frozen (between -15 and -25 °C), protected from light.
- No test substance was detected in the group 1 formulation (0 mg/kg bw/day). The concentrations analysed in the formulations of group 3 and group 4 (300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day) were in agreement with target concentrations (i.e. mean accuracies between 90% and 110%). For the formulation of group 2 (100 mg/kg bw/day) prepared for use on Day 1, the mean accuracy was below the target concentration (i.e. 79% of target). Additional low dose samples were taken from formulations prepared on 10 October 2016. The concentration analysed of the second set of low dose samples was in agreement with target concentration (i.e. mean accuracies between 90% and 110%). The formulations of group 2 and group 4 (100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day) were homogeneous (i.e. coefficient of variation ≤ 10%). - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Three groups of 10 male and 10 female Wistar Han rats were given the test substance, by oral (gavage) administration at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day from 14 days before mating (Day 1) until Day 31 for males or until Day 4 of lactation for females. A control group of 10 male and 10 female Wistar Han rats was given 5 mL/kg bw/day of the vehicle (corn oil) over the same periods.

Examinations
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- - Morbidity/mortality: All animals were observed at least twice daily (i.e. at the beginning and at the end of the working day, including weekends and public holidays).
- Clinical signs: The animals were observed daily during the study. To detect any clinical signs or reactions to treatment, the animals were observed before and at least once after dosing. A full clinical examination was performed on each weighing day. A particular attention was paid to hypersalivation. Toward the end of gestation, females were examined daily for signs of parturition.
- Body weight: Males: once weekly and Females: Once weekly during pre-mating and mating periods (only pre-mating data are reported), on days 0, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 20 of gestation and on days 1 and 4 of lactation.
- Food consumption: Males: once weekly during the pre-mating period and Females: weekly during the pre-mating period, on days 0 to 6, 6 to 9, 9 to 12, 12 to 15, 15 to 18, 18 to 20 of gestation and on days 1 to 4 of lactation.
- Functional tests: Males: first 5 males/group, on the last day of treatment (i.e. Day 31) and Females: first 5 females/group with live pups at the time of test (i.e. lactation day 4). Tests performed: Auditory reflex, Pupillary reflex, Righting reflex, Fore- and hind-limb grip strength and Locomotor activity in an open field test.
- Clinical laboratory determinations
1. Blood sampling: First 5 animals/group/sex, at the end of the pre mating period (i.e. Day 14). Method of blood sampling: Blood was withdrawn from the retro-orbital sinus.
2. Haematology: Haemoglobin, Haemoglobin distribution width, Mean corpuscular haemoglobin, Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, Packed cell volume, Red blood cell count, Red blood cell distribution width, Mean corpuscular volume, Reticulocyte count, Platelet count, Total white blood cell count and Differential white blood cell count.
3. Coagulation: Prothrombin time, Activated partial thromboplastin time and Fibrinogen.
4. Serum clinical chemistry: Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Calcium, Inorganic phosphorus, Glucose, Urea, Total cholesterol, Total bilirubin, Total protein, Albumin, Creatinine, Alkaline phosphatase, Aspartate aminotransferase, Alanine aminotransferase and Bile acids. - Sacrifice and pathology:
- - Pathology. Necropsy schedule: Adult animals were killed by carbon dioxide inhalation followed by exsanguination then necropsied according to the following schedule: Males: after completion of the mating period, Females: on Day 4 of lactation and Any apparently unmated female: 24 days after the last day of the mating period (Day 53 of study).
(Any moribund adult or female with total litter death was killed by carbon dioxide inhalation and exsanguination then necropsied.)
- All animals were submitted to a macroscopic examination. For half of the animals/group, selected organs were weighed, and organ/tissue samples were fixed and preserved at necropsy. A limited list of organ/tissue samples were fixed and preserved at necropsy for the remaining animals. Selected organs/tissues, from half of the group 1 (0 mg/kg bw/day) and 4 (1000 mg/kg bw/day) animals killed at the end of the treatment period were examined histopathologically. The reproductive organs (including additional PAS/haematoxylin-stained slides for testes) were examined histopathologically for the 5 randomly selected adult males of groups 1 and 4, all males suspected to be infertile and all females that failed to deliver healthy pups. - Other examinations:

- Statistics:
- Statistical analyses were performed by the Provantis data acquisition system.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Compared with the concurrent controls, there was a slightly increased incidence of animals showing hypersalivation associated or not with abnormal foraging and/or pedalling in all treated female groups during the premating, gestation and lactation periods. The incidence of hypersalivation tended to decrease with time during lactation where only treated females showed these signs in a dose-related manner. All males (except one given 1000 mg/kg bw/day), including controls, had hypersalivation associated or not with abnormal foraging and/or pedalling. In addition, straub tail was noted for 3 and 2 females given 100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day, respectively, during the lactation period and in 3 males given 1000 mg/kg/day. Other clinical signs noted such as hairloss or scabs were occasionally noted in all groups, including controls, are were considered to be incidental.
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- There was no test substance-related mortality in any group. One female given the vehicle was euthanized after the death of its entire litter.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - Males:
There was an overall slightly lower mean body weight gain from Day 1 to Day 29 for male groups given 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (-11 and -10 %, respectively) when compared with the control. However, in the absence of any dose-relationship and since there was no effect on terminal mean body weight, these minor differences were considered incidental. There was no evidence of an effect of treatment on mean body weight gain for males at 100 mg/kg bw/day.
- Females:
There was no adverse test substance-related effect on mean body weight or body weight gain during the pre-mating, gestation and lactation periods at any dose level. Lower mean body weight gain was noted for test substance-treated females when compared with controls from days 1 to 4 of lactation (-12.4, -62.6 and -68.2 % in the 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups, respectively). However, the values remained within the historical control data range (3.3 -12.2 g) and terminal mean body weights were not overtly affected so the differences were considered to be of no toxicological significance. - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - Males:
Mean food consumption for males between days 9 and 15 of the premating period was comparable between all groups.
- Females:
There was a slightly lower mean food consumption in all treated female groups between days 9 and 15 of the premating period (-8, -6 and -5 % in the 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups, p<0.05, respectively) when compared with the control group. Consistent with minor body weight differences, mean food consumption was slightly lower between day 1 and 4 of lactation for females given 1000 mg/kg bw/day (-8 %) when compared with the concurrent control. There was no evidence of a test substance-related effect on mean food consumption for females during the gestation period at any dose level and during the lactation period at 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day.
In addition, when compared with the historical control data, there was a lower mean food consumption for both sexes during the pre-mating, gestation and/or lactation periods in all groups receiving the vehicle with or without the test substance. This finding was therefore considered to be associated with the vehicle, i.e. corn oil. - Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was no obvious effect of treatment on pupillary reflexes for the males or females at any dose level.

- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was no obvious effect of treatment on haematology and coagulation parameters for males or females at any dose level.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:

- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the oral repeated dose toxicity of the test substance according to OECD Guideline 422, EU Method B.7, EPA OPPTS 870.3650 and EPA OPPTS 870.3050, in compliance with GLP. Male and female Wistar Han rats were exposed (by gavage) to the test substance at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day from 14 days before mating (Day 1) until Day 31 for males or until Day 4 of lactation for females. A control group of 10 male and 10 female rats was given 5 mL/kg bw/day of the vehicle (corn oil) over the same periods. All animals were observed at least twice daily for morbidity and mortality. Clinical signs were recorded daily during the study. To detect any clinical signs or reactions to treatment, the animals were observed before and at least once after dosing. A full clinical examination was performed on each weighing day. A particular attention was paid to hypersalivation. Body weight was measured once per week in males and once per week during pre-mating and mating periods, on Days 0, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 20 of gestation and on days 1 and 4 of lactation in females. Food consumption was evaluated one per week during the pre-mating period in males and weekly during the pre-mating period, on days 0 to 6, 6 to 9, 9 to 12, 12 to 15, 15 to 18, 18 to 20 of gestation and on days 1 to 4 of lactation in females. Functional tests were performed on males (on the last day of treatment (i.e. Day 31)) and females (females with live pups at the time of test (i.e. lactation day 4)). The tests performed included auditory reflex, pupillary reflex, righting reflex, fore- and hind-limb grip strength and locomotor activity in an open field test. Blood sampling were taken at the end of the pre mating period (i.e. Day 14) from the retro-orbital sinus for heamatology, coagulation and serum clinical chemistry analysis. Adult animals were killed by carbon dioxide inhalation followed by exsanguination then necropsied according to the following schedule: after completion of the mating period for males and on Day 4 of lactation for females. All animals were submitted to a macroscopic examination. For half of the animals/group, selected organs were weighed, and organ/tissue samples were fixed and preserved at necropsy. A limited list of organ/tissue samples were fixed and preserved at necropsy for the remaining animals. Selected organs/tissues, from half of the group 1 (0 mg/kg bw/day) and 4 (1000 mg/kg bw/day) animals killed at the end of the treatment period were examined histopathologically. Oral administration of the test substance at tested doses, were associated with a non-adverse minor decrease in mean body weight gain for males and females during lactation at 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day, a slight reduction of food consumption for all treated females (from Day 9 and Day 15 of pre-mating) and from Day 1 to Day 4 of lactation at 1000 mg/kg bw/day and a dose-related decrease in bile acids in test substance-treated males at all dose levels and females at 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. For details on effects on reproduction refer to the discussion under section 5.9.3 of the CSR. Under the study conditions, the NOAEL for parental systemic toxicity of the test substance was determined to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day (highest dose tested) (Mounier, 2017).
